Re: Today in pictures
Today in Pictures, a bit of a self indulgent mooch today.
1. My first snowdrops.
2. Bit of a mooch along the river bank.
3. The next port of call.
4. By the lynch gate.
5. The best and grandest eternal resting places were always close to the main walk to the church, so the congregation noticed them when going to worship, the poorer people were the furthest away with the smallest headstones. Know your place, even in death.
6. This is a bit of a oddity, more of an Obit you would put in the paper, not on a headstone.
7. The side that overlooks the river.
8. It is recorded that there is only one Canadian service man interred in the cemetery,Able seaman H. Broadley R.C.N.V.R. (21) 1st November 1944.
9.Then I found this. E.Arnold Burton (25) 2nd Battalion 1st Canadian Contingent 13th June 1916, killed Zillebek Nr. Ypres. It may be that he is memorialised on the headstone and interred elsewhere, but it doesn't make it clear.
10. I could spend a lot longer here, and I will in the future, but for now the light is going and its raining.
